Shubman Gill keen on enhancing his T20I batting
Young Indian batter Shubman Gill is keen on enhancing his T20I batting skills in the lead up to the T20I World Cup 2026 where India will be the defending champions. Gill has made significant strides in various formats of the game. Recently, he was given a leadership opportunity, serving as India’s stand-in captain during a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, which was won by India 4-1.
"My performance in T20Is till the T20I World Cup this year wasn't as I had expected it to be. Hopefully, going forward, in the upcoming cycle, I think we will play about 30-40 T20Is, so definitely, we can improve our performance as a team and I will try as a player,” Gill said while speaking to reporters ahead of the first T20I against Sri Lanka.
And, in the wake of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirements in T20Is, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are being seen as a potential opener for the team in the shortest format of the game. Speaking on batting with Jaiswal, Gill said that they both have a great understanding.
"We really enjoy batting with each other. Especially the kind of shots we both play, we kind of complement each other. Being a right-left combination, we have had good partnerships in whatever T20Is we have played before, two partnerships have been 150-plus. So, there’s a great understanding and communication between us," he said.
